Pedaling for Elsie
Over the last several years my mother-in-law Elsie faced the challenges of Parkinson’s Disease with tremendous inner strength and determination. Elsie passed away on August 17 at the age of 91. I am taking part in Pedaling for Parkinson’s to honour this very special lady. Our team is “Elsie Strong”.
As part of this journey, I plan to bike the Bow Valley Parkway with my three children, Sarah, Kevin and Laura on my 72nd birthday.
I'm Pedaling for Parkinson's to honour Elsie
Over the last several years my mother-in-law Elsie faced the challenges of Parkinson’s Disease with tremendous inner strength and determination. Elsie passed away on August 17 at the age of 91. I am taking part in Pedaling for Parkinson’s to honour this very special lady. Our team is “Elsie Strong”.
I’m keeping the research cadence strong by Pedaling for Parkinson’s. As part of the event, I’ve set a challenging personal distance goal and am tracking my kilometers.
More than 100,000 Canadians live with Parkinson’s, a number expected to increase substantially in the coming years, with 30 Canadians diagnosed each day. Parkinson’s is a disease that affects not only individuals, but also families, friends and care partners who come together to manage the realities of Parkinson’s.
I’m Pedaling for Parkinson’s to raise money for Parkinson Canada, whose mission is to transform the lives of people living with Parkinson’s. Parkinson Canada funds critical research, provides information and support, increases awareness and advocates for improved health care outcomes for people living with Parkinson's across Canada.
Help me ensure Parkinson Canada is here for Canadians living with Parkinson’s today – while funding research into better treatments and one day, a cure.
Please support my Pedaling for Parkinson’s fundraiser. Together, we can have an immeasurable impact on the research being done, the services being offered, and the people being helped every day.
